Understanding Astigmatism
Astigmatism is a common eye condition. It happens when your eye's cornea or lens has an irregular shape, causing light to enter the eye unevenly. Symptoms include blurry vision, headaches, and eye strain, often unnoticed in mild cases, especially in children.
The cause of astigmatism remains unclear, with some being born with it and others developing it over time due to factors like injuries or surgery. Diagnosis involves a painless eye test. Treatment options include glasses, contact lenses, or surgery, depending on the severity.
As always, regular eye tests are essential to maintaining clear and healthy vision 👁️ so pop in and see us!
